~HEALING~
Keep in mind that the value recovered by healing is affected by the difficulty you are playing. I didn’t know whether I should present the Online Mode values or the Normal Mode Offline values that are listed in the Strategy Guide so I decided to just do the normal values given in the Strategy Guide.
Difficulty Multipliers:
- Easy Mode: Recovery multiplied by 2
- Normal Mode: Standard Values
- Hard Mode: Recovery divided by 2
- Online Mode: Very sure its the same as hard mode.
